Summary

Town staff said the council asked staff to examine allowances for temporary A-frame signs and related sidewalk/right-of-way issues; commissioners discussed visual clutter, permits and possible design standards.

Coupeville planning staff told the commission the Town Council directed a focused review of the sign code to consider whether temporary A-frame (sandwich-board) signs should be allowed and, if so, how to regulate placement, design and pedestrian access.

Why it matters: A-frame signs are a frequent local complaint when they obstruct sidewalks or create visual clutter, but small businesses say temporary signs help attract customers, particularly in lower-visibility areas.
